Two masked men in a car riddled a British military vehicle with machine-gun fire Monday, seriously wounding a serviceman and a 16-year-old British girl, police and British officials said. Authorities said the gunmen escaped. The attack was the first against British personnel on the island since an Arab terrorist raid on a British base last year.
